Fewler Era, (Republican], la reply to a well deserved eriti cism the Rensselaer Republicaa personally abuses the senior editor of this paper.

And furthermore we wish te say if the Republican man desires to make this a personal matter he will find the Junior at home at all hoaie. The Republican man hat demoustra.ed a capacity Ic malci a contemptiabie ass of himself second ouly to that of oue Myers. now the “notorious* Secretary of State. No'iee is hereby given that Bro.

To show what our sniftering, snottering, weeping neighbor calls cop** perhead, we reproduce the following extracts from a 1$ column preduct* ion of ours on the outbreak or tbe rebellion: The news of the present week ia the most startling that has falleu upon our peaceable asd happy country since tne foun JuPon of Gov ernment. * * • Wo have anticipated it for eo mo time, The rejectu»n oa the part of the N.rth of all mcasur6B of adjustment; the blind fatuity of those iu power with regaid to the threatening stats o* affairs; and * heir unpardonable and criminal noglest to strengthen the loyal feelt. g in the South, and hold out ta the country a bread National poiiey. has widened the breach between tbe two sections of the country, increased animosities, discouraged Unionism, and rendered a resort to arms -eceseary. Upoa this fatal neglect of those in power mu«t rest the reBponeibility of civil war. * * * There is ne question bow but the Union. All platforms must be for** gotten; all party lines forsaken, in a united patrh 'ism lor the countiy iu one grand effort to save i.he Union, * * * There was a time last winter when all this trouble might bave been avoided. Oue word from Congress would have saved the Union, and averted eivil strito and War. The Stnte of Georgia halted in her dia mien course for weeks, waiting the aetiou of Cougress. Ah act of adjustment, a Ptovision|of reeenciliation, weald hove encouraged her Union sons to remain trutto the last te 4he stars asd stripes. Bui the blind infatuated hotspur Republican fools i Congress locking solelv to the interest of their party, entirely forgot we had a government,— Teombs telegraphed home that the Republicans would yelld »othing and Georgia seceded from the Union. *

Anythieg about Tom Oehiltren, the great apaatla of gall, ia good reading.

When! tkl ® eld ge tlensan returned he did indeed 8«e a neat sign over tbe office door. He examined it through his gold rimmod spectacles, and then took off hie;binooulars and examined it again. The neat sign read thus: ‘Thomas P. Oehiltreo and Father, Attorneys at Law." .
